J. Wiel. lately from Omaha, and Field

town saloon and took several drinks TO-
gether. The pair then went to coffee
house on Commercial street and had
something to eat. After refreshments
Wiel went out of the coffee house and
took seat ON a box and went to sleep.
Moultrie left also. In couple of hours
both men returned to the house of re-
freshments and ordered coffee. Wiel
then discovered that he had been rob.
bed. Moultrie said he thought the
waiter was the guilty party and the two
hunted up officer Moore and told their
tale. Moore asked Wiel how much
money he had lost and he said eight five.
dollar gold piccee and "a so in silver.
Moore listened to them patiently and
then quietly said to Moultrie: II think
you robbed this man," and arrested the
fear.stricken Moultrie. At the police
station an investigation of Moultrie's
pockets revealed eight five dollar gold
pieces and few dollars in silver. He
was charged with grand larceny and
will be examined at ll:30 o'clock this

Frederick Warde as Richard
"CrOokback'' Last Night.

Frederick Warde ms Richard
"Crookbackr Last Night.
A really good house assembled at the
Grand Opera House last night to see Mr..
Warde as "Crookback" Richard. The
house was good, not only in numbers,
but in intelligence and critical acumen.
1t left the temple of Thespis most thor
oughly delighted. Mr. Warde and his
associates have played nothing SO well
during the season as they did this pro-
duction Of the immortal William. The
version was that of Colley Cibber- not
as the name blundered in the HERALD
Yesterday. The critic, while on blum
ders, begs leave to call attention to a
gross error in sentence referring to
Miss Blair, where the phrase "wear the
scanta dinartistic costumes Of past ages, 7"
got twisted into something utterly un-
Ineligible. Miss Blair, as "Qaeen
Apne" last night, was queenly grace
personifisd. She looked and moved and
spoke--a queen. Miss Payne, in The
dual roles of "Queen Margaret" and
"Queen Elizabeth, did very effective
work. Her bitter invective against the
murderous tyrant was cap;tally deliver ed
Mr.. Herman made on excellent
.'Richmond," and Mr.. .Warde, strange tc
say, appeared to even better advantage
as the misshapeu King than as the
"Gladiator" or as damon" The
hand band encounter between
"Richmond" and "Ricnard" was one oil
the most realistic things seen on the
stage for years. Like lions the two con
testants for the throne fought until tn,
audience was held speel.bound arc
breathless. The auditorium rang with
plaudits as sword fell on sword in seem
ingly deadly earnest.
The piece was well dressed and wei
set. But it was matter of general re
gret that the vision where Orchard
sees the shades OF all his victims sho nj,
have been so badly "cut."

Statements as 10 His Arrest for
False Pretemces.

o ~ 1uhb " ASDt sOA
False Pretences.
The HERALD yesterday had an item
concerning the arrest of M. L. Stone on
q charge of beating an Englishman
named Harvey out of $3.50 and a watch
and chain. Stone was arraigned before
Justice Austin yesterday and his bail
fixed at 5000. which he gave. John
Sherman, the proprietor of the inven.
tion called Sherman's Illusion or Egyp.
tian Mystery, gives the following ver-
sion of the affair. He agreed to sell
Stone licenae to run mis- Illusions in
California one year for 81. 200. $500 to be
paid down. After some weeks Stone
said that he had found man, Harvey,
to put in $3.50, and the trio repaired to a
lawyers office. where the lease of the
right to run the show for year was
drawn up. Stone then gave Sherman
check for $500. Sherman gave Stone
the lease and Harvey gave stone $3.50
in coin. Stone and Sherman went off
together and Sherman said NOW Stone
I'll 60 and get this check cashed
and we will take something Stone
said, "look here, Sherman, you give
me that check and III get it cashed, and
you wait here till come back" Sher
man said "All right; but you give me
the lease to hold till you come back. !"
The transfer was made, and Stone went
off and, according to Sherman, be has
been off continuously until yesterday,
when he turned up, and Sherman got
Harvey to have him arrested for obtain
ing money under false pretences. Stone
came into the HERALD Office last night
and contradicted the above story and
said it was told to shield Sherman. He
says that he has paid Sherman $500 and
that he holds clear receipt from Har-
vey for all damage claimed to have been
done min.

Wilkins in said article are false, and
that Col. Boyce and the Gladstone Com
pauy were ignorant, and have been, OF all
transactions mentioned in said articles,
and that the article has emanated from
men who, to crafty personal spite, are
willing to iDjure great enterprises now
going on in the Azusa valley. And here
let me say to the editor OF the 1fnaes'
that the Azusa valley, with all her ad-
vantages of soil, climate and location,
will live and thrive and be the second
city in Los Angeles county, notwith'
standing his disposition to crafty his
malice against Col. Boyce and others,
whose enterprise will survive the shafts
of malice. Signed
